Matrix 835

Matrix 835 Prescription Glasses

A round frame is an easy way to add a little character. The Matrix 835 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 49-20-135, in Black, Crystal, Purple or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Matrix collection.

4 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Crystal. In Crystal, the frame is crystal clear. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Tort. In Tort, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Why you will like it

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Matrix 835 is easy to live with. The Matrix 835 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office. Thinking of a second pair? The Matrix 835 works well as a backup.

Styling tips

Because it is unisex, it is easy to share the look across the household. Pick the colour that matches your wardrobe rather than worrying about who it is designed for.

How it fits

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Matrix 835

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

From our lab to you

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Matrix 835 before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

Your questions, answered

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Is the Matrix 835 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.
